This procedure demonstrates the following tasks (each task builds on the previous task):
• “Configuring a Frequency Sweep” on page 50
• “Using Markers” on page 52
• “Adjusting Sweep Time” on page 54
• “Using Alternate Sweep” on page 55
• “Configuring an Amplitude Sweep” on page 56
Configuring a Frequency Sweep
1. Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 2- 3.
NOTE The PSG signal generator is not compatible with the GPIB system interface of an 8757A,
8757C, or 8757E. For these older scalar network analyzers, do not connect the GPIB cable in
Figure 2- 3. These scalar network analyzers provide only a subset of 8757D functionality. See
the Data Sheet for details. Use the 8757A/C/E documentation instead of this procedure.

2. Turn on both the 8757D and the PSG.
3. On the 8757D, press
System > More > Sweep Mode and verify that the SYSINTF softkey is set to ON.
This ensures that the system interface mode is activated on the 8757D. The system interface
